Filip Maj commented on CB-55:
-----------------------------
Don't think this issue is relevant. The suggestions made by the commenter do
not adhere to the W3C spec, especially the "ignore the significant position
difference requirement".
CB-359 should resolve this anyways. The JS to be merged in is on my fork (brunt
of the changes are in the [geolocation.js
module|https://github.com/filmaj/incubator-cordova-js/blob/geotests/lib/common/plugin/geolocation.js]).
The iOS changes are also on [my
branch|https://github.com/filmaj/incubator-cordova-ios/tree/geoupdate].
I would suggest closing it.
> Geolocation.prototype.watchPosition uses timeout option in wrong way

> Key: CB-55
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-55
> Project: Apache Callback
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
>
> reported at: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-iphone/issues/305
> by: https://github.com/all4ip
> I have following scenario:
> I want aprox. every second a position update. I do not want cached positions.
> I am willing to wait up to 30 seconds for the first valid position.
> So my params would be:
> var options = { timeout: 30000, maximumAge: 0, enableHighAccuracy: true };
> This is identical to w3c definition.
> But the timout value is also used for the internal endless loop of
> watchPosition. So I can either have updates every second and can wait up to 1
> second for valid position or wait up to 30 seconds for valid position and get
> updates only every 30 seconds, too!
> The timout option should be used like the doc says:
> "The maximum length of time (msec) that is allowed to pass from the call to
> geolocation.getCurrentPosition or geolocation.watchPosition until the
> corresponding geolocationSuccess callback is invoked."
> This happens correctly, when the params are passed to getCurrentPosition().
> But the continuous update in watchPosition uses the same value for the timer,
> too:
> setInterval(intervalFunction, params.timeout);
> The interval should be a static value i.e. 1000 ms or 500 ms or a variable
> frequency.
